We should expect a "special message" from Deus Ex: Human Revolution tomorrow, according to an in-game message, as shown in this screenshot sent along by nin. Word is: "Human Revolutions -- Special Message Incoming / Be Ready / 2200 GMT 29 Aug."

My inventory is maxed and still too small. I just found another new weapon and dropped my PEPS (never fired it) and stun gun, as well as ammo for both, to pick it up. But I really just use the pistol and tranq gun still.

Game has crashed on me 3 times. I don't much mind. Between the auto-saves (which nicely are often and keep 2 at a time) and quick-saves I'm good. I also die very, very rarely.

I love games that let me try to be stealthy but blast my way out when I mess up. This is that game.

It wasn't on my list, so I only have until Sept. 6th to finish it so I can play Dead Island.

I really hope Dead Island is good. I'm on vacation next week, so I'm looking forward to both the time off and checking it out.

Yea I am holding off on getting DX, as I just don't have free time right now...and I haev some games on preorder that I will want to play. By the sounds of it, I will get DX this fall on sale (i can't believe I am passing up the GMG). oh well.

I upgraded my inventory to carry it even though like Jerykk I'm not going to ever use it.

I'm playing the game ridiculously slowly. What do you guys recommend for boss battles for the ghost hacker? I'd prefer just to carry the one weapon + tranq.

Dunno about the other bosses yet but the first one you can beat just throwing the barrels and gas tanks at him.

I don't know whose idea the boss fights were but its eally marred an other wise good game. I'm sure that message has probly got through loud and clear to Eidos at this point. Just remember that with Thief 4!

Just annoys me because I get almost to the end and then *BAM* here's some DLC that you can only play if you have not yet finished or haven't gone past this point, etc. Fallout: NV was very irritating with this. At least games like Borderlands let you play the DLC whenever.

Sure, I understand that. But at least this particular game encourages a second play through by taking different augs/quest outcomes(though admittedly like NV).

This game is rushed, though. It wasn't on my list, so I only have until Sept. 6th to finish it so I can play Dead Island. Stupid game being good and requiring a purchase. YOU MESSED UP MY LIST, EIDOS!Damn you!

Only one minor gripe and that's the colour palette. If this yellow tint is all the way through the game, they missed out big time in adding a unique feel to different parts of the levels. But yea, so far that's a minor issue.

You missed one throwback to DX, and one crucial plot point:The CEO of Picus is Morgan Everett - Illuminatus extraordinaire from DX, and at one point Athene Sarif's secretary has an email from L. DeBeers informing him that David is not interested. On Megan's computer in the white room Darrow has an email that basically says that the real reason why they needed Adam's DNA was to find a way for the human body to accept nano-particles without rejecting them. So, the opening sequence with Page they are discussing the Limb upgrade plan, and Darrow and maybe Taggart are talking (and possibly DuClare and others from DX, unless that is Zhou), but Page is IMing about nano-augmentation.

Now they institute the Illuminati plan to ruin the game by offering DLC that requires you to not have made it past the first area in the game.

Seeing as I got the game for $29, I have no problem, provided it's good content.

I'd specifically like to buy the soundtrack, and steam seems to be adding those lately (they added the soundtrack for Bastian the other day). And of course, the Tong mission.

The PEPS is basically a non-lethal shotgun with much shorter range and wider spread. Unfortunately, it makes a lot of noise so it isn't really useful as a stealth weapon. I have a highly modded silenced sniper rifle but I never use it because I'm going the non-lethal route. I figured I'd use it for boss fights but the firing rate is too slow and my revolver does more damage. I'm tempted to sell it but I don't want all those upgrades to go to waste.
